Weird happening in reverse

OK, have done a basic search but have no clue what to really search for. A weird studder/shtter happens when backing into my driveway, kind of feels like wheel slippage, but is not. Happens when turning in reverse, driveway is a slight slope, but not too drastic.. Anyone experience this. Any ideas what it could be. I back into all parking spaces when going to work and stores, and never experienced it, although all of them have been flat ground.

TIA

nope, I haven't even had it in 4wd yet, bought in Dec 2019 and very mild winter in the Mid Atlantic this year...

There are quite a few reports of this happening, but only in the F-250 gas trucks. It's something to do with that particular transmission, which isn't shared with the rest of the Superduty line. I don't think anyone has figured out the problem.

Welcome to the club. It's happened a few times to me but only when backing a trailer against some resistance like a small incline.There have been no definitive answers why it happens and other then this I have not read of issues with this transmission.
